F1 22 Intermediate tyre changes cause AI to pit every lap swapping tyres
Product: F1 22
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug Race in Canada starts with dry weather, then light rain starts. Track gradually gets wetter as expected, but the Race Engineer seems to think that standing water still means "Drys are the best tyres right now". I override this, swap to intermediates, immediately have more grip as I expected. the AI I was racing do the same. Except, next lap, with the track getting EVEN WETTER, to the point where full wet tyres are quite possibly more appropriate, they swap back to soft tyres. Ruining their races completely as they did a pointless pit stop, and now have absolutely no grip. This was a problem back in F1 2021, why is this still even here?
What is your 16 digit Report Code? RPAC-PASA-EHTP-EHXE
Which area is the bug/glitch in? My Team
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Did you have cross-play enabled? No
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Any race where the conditions go from dry to wet, watch the AI make Ferrari's real life strategy choices look genius by comparison. AI is set to 60 at 100% race distance.
What happens when the bug occurs? The AI just start pitting every lap swapping tyres back and forth between intermediate and dry tyres, the race engineer insists that dry tyres are faster despite the track being utterly soaked.
What do you expect to see? I expect the AI to not start pitting every single lap.
Thankfully for my experience, I was already in first so this hasn't changed standings all that much, but it makes the victory feel unearned when the AI may as well have all just pulled into the pit lane and retired because of how mind bogglingly stupid they're being. Back in F1 2021 I had this bug happen with me back in 10th, and it's a terrible feeling. What's the point in playing the singleplayer if the AI just all simultaneously give me the win? It absolutely kills any enthusiasm to play a race whenever the forecast shows changeable conditions. I realise that programming realistic AI isn't an easy task, but this is ridiculous, considering this has been a documented bug since the previous game as well, the fact this bug hasn't been addressed is just embarrassing.
